Planter Box Centerpiece

I've always loved those beautiful holiday photos that have large tables with wood planter boxes filled with holiday trimmings, pumpkins for Fall, wheat grass and eggs for springtime, etc. Now I'm excited that I finally have one!

I never had a table long enough for one of these before we moved into our new house. My trestle table is the perfect length for this rustic wood planter box that I picked up from a fellow Luckett's Market vendor. Although it wouldn't be difficult to make one of these, I like how this one was a bit "pre-aged".

I did clean it up a bit with some Navajo White paint and added some of my favorite dark glaze to bring out the details of the wood. I then hand-painted the "Friends and Family" with some ASCP Duck Egg Blue paint and lightly distressed it.

I just filled it with some items from around my home for now as I'm impatiently waiting for small white and heirloom pumpkins to make an appearance in the stores...

love it, and how you customized it! I am looking forward to pumpkin season, too! ps I have to search on your blog for pics of the trestle table as we're in the market for one, too, and I'm always looking for ideas.

I so love this! Very pretty! Thank you for sharing. Visiting from 1929 Charmer. Would love it if you would share this at my Make it Pretty Monday party at The Dedicated House which goes live Monday at 8am CST. http://thededicatedhouse.blogspot.com Hope to see you at the bash!

A beautiful piece, and I love how you customized it. I just found a very long old toolbox and I can't wait to decorate. But first I have to find a table! Is that the horse before the cart? Love the lettering. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!
